- Orson WellesDuring my first year on "Melrose Place" (1992), there was a great deal of pressure from the network (Fox TV) for me to out myself as a straight man. The producers of "Melrose Place" (1992) kept telling me I had to say publicly that I was a breeder. They said too many people assumed I was gay. I know the truth of my life, so I didn`t have to play the network game. For three years, I was the spokesperson for the AIDS rides (yearly cycle-thons) in California.

- Almeda Jacks(Said the 32-year-old Ecko about his win,) Today is further affirmation that graffiti is without question the most powerful art movement in recent history. This event was conceived as a tribute to the roots of graffiti culture, a time in New York City`s history that I chose to believe was worth fighting to preserve. ... when the City asked us to change our chosen art canvas and, as such, tried to censor my First Amendment rights and those of these great artists by attempting to dictate how we express ourselves.
